About the Design

Don Lee, team leader: "We are trying to show the aggressive paradox between the modern world and the ancient one, and the possible reaction of such an encounter. The fiberglass body is cut into pieces, and each part is then filled on the inside with broken-off electronic parts and covered with transparent poly resin. The parts are then suspended in mid-air by the means of Sold!spear-ended tubes, which at the bottom part are inserted in blocks of buried concrete."
